Tax Time


Yes, its that time again and as people anticipating a refund many cyber criminals are relying on non technical users to navigate to fraudulent IRS web sites to steal Personal Identifiable Information (PII)...Some of the sites are really convincing and look legitimate.

Here is a link to the Spyware Guide that give examples

As always never follow a suspicious link that you receive in an email or that you don't trust.
Be safe and remember to update you system.
1. Windows Updates
2. Anti Virus/Anti Malware
3. Applications such as Adobe Flash, Firefox, Java...

Be safe.
